Well unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably seen the headlines from our US neighbors and their history making change to gay marriage rights. This is a huge step forward for Americans in my opinion. Ireland also recently underwent a change in their marriage rights. The first ever referendum on gay marriage in the world! And luckily it was a yes vote. A great victory and huge progress in a predominantly catholic country. It got me thinking about how lucky we are here in Canada!
Enjoy your national day, get out there and get some some sun, a double double and some poutine!! I leave you with some “only in canada” pics! Check them out here!
